Shall I count out loud the industry "friends" who stopped talking to me when it became clear I was no longer working for Fight Hype? No quid pro quo here. Nope. Not at all. They clearly weren't aware that I have more lives than Jason Voorhees.
Excellent - as I’ve come to expect from @Boxing_Tribune. The handjob line was inspired. Loved it.
If you actually want some balanced, honest, funny fucking writing, Paul’s the guy. Give this a spin and give him a follow/subscribe.
We’re out here. #boxing

Less weepy pieces on your love for boxing at Canastota, More attack pieces on the legislation moving through Congress to strip fighters of their rights.
🚨 CFFT: Boxing loses, 'body shots only' & Bam
A shambolic event in MCR left me with plenty of questions: What is a 'Jordan McCann?' Is this a freak show without the talent? And what about THAT Gemma Richardson weigh-in?
Oh, and Bam Rodriguez is outrageous. #boxingopen.substack.com/pub/craigs…
And why is it that Tyson Fury has not been to the US for 5 1/2 years? Anything to do with an Irish gangster perchance?
And how did the in no way corrupt Turki manage to organise this in no way corrupt action?

No disrespect to Shields, but these "looking sharp" clips showing basic drills that any pro boxer can perform with ease are swamping the socials, and convincing casual fans that boxing is easy.
If you enjoy proper boxing writing, not recycled guff about meaningless P4P lists or PR guff promoting Zuffa, Turki, Misfits, then dive into this.

The term "boxing casual" has jumped the shark.
Guff like this is how Zuffa is gaining traction. The Ali Destruction Bill has not come out of nowhere. It's mere existence is because "boxing" is seen by these sharks as a commodity to be sold as sports entertainment rather than a serious (and highly dangerous) combat sport. All about the spectacle rather than the skills, training, and lifelong dedication of the boxers.
.@MisfitsBoxing has never stopped elevating. No matter what casuals say. Even some of the so called “ fans “ who are never happy. You cannot deny that last night had a bit of everything. Stories and stars were created, entertainment galore. What a show!!! Bravo @MamsTaylor 👏🏻
